Line the drill up with the axle line and drill carefully
At this point, cut the car off the block. Use whatever means are available ... table saw, hand saw, planer, etc.
Make a place for the saw blade to work inside the car
Cut out the end
Detach one end of the blade ...
Put the car around the blade ...
Fasten the blade and you're “good to go.”
A coping saw will do this job, too
Weigh all the pieces, allow for epoxy.

Set weights so that they are ready to go in the right place.
